Complaint regarding Stephensons Solicitors

[suffering]

i would like to bring this tread back to life as i found them very distant there is no free consultation just a unqualified person asking fact finding questions i paid £300 pounds for a revue of my case i got a brief summary and 20 min phone conversation, i was quoted £1500 to take my case forward and to expect it to cost £20,000 i rang back with some questions and was told i need to pay for further advice

You need to tread very carefully.

 

You haven't given any info on your case, but £20k is alot of money.

 

Have you signed a contract yet. This should outline all the costs and what they are going to do to help progress your case, and should also have a definitive figure.

 

Request a full breakdown of what you have paid for so far. The advise given should justify what you have paid. I strongly suggest that everything should be in writing unless you have the ability to record phone calls. They will lie when cornered.

 

This is a **edit** company. Don't pay anymore money unless you have a written assurance that they will provide the service you want. Don't be afraid to walk away. Don't be drawn in just because you have already paid £300.

i've walked away they make big claims and their web site makes big statements but i felt that the solicitor i was assigned to came over quite weak and not very positive
